I mean I get what you are saying, but in a city like Edmonton it just doesn't work.
I mean it works to some degree, but you still have a lot of the hard core drunks that won't give a shit and will drive a vehicle without license, insurance and registration.
Soundwave, I know you to be a reasonable poster on these pages. Tell me you realize that driving under the influence includes consuming other products than just alcohol, right?
Bourdon was the big one in the NHL 15 years or so. But he was a young up-and-coming player, not a superstar.
wreckless dangerous and illegal. This is like saying a pilot flying while drunk and crashing is the fault of the society which has become reliant on travel by air. You blame the drunk pilot who breaks the law and not the passengers who have to fly because the world is big and people like to get around places fast.
It's actually the opposite. Worked with actuaries who pull exactly this data. The largest percentage of drinking and driving incidents, either in relation to death of the driver, death of passengers, death of external to vehicle individuals along with arrests are within the 18-24 bracket. Second highest is between 24-35.
As if its not normal here. No one really think this way unless really hammered. Many claim they drive better when theyve had a few beers and puffs. Atleast that is how it was back in my NAIT days.
This is good as well. But its dissuaded as it potentially promotes the seriousness of DUI drivers making getaways, to get away, and high speed chases while impaired. Its the trouble that every action can have an undesired consequence.

Drinking is lower for Gen Z's for sure, but it's only one substance of what could constitute DUI/DWIs.1.) I've had the unfortunate experience of being hit by a drunk driver myself, rear ended at a stop sign in the dead of night, dick face was so hammered he just walked over to the cop car when the cops arrived and passed out in the back of the squad car. Thankfully other than having a stiff neck from whiplash for a few days no one was hurt (at least in my car, don't know what happened to the drunk driver as I never saw him again).
I actually have not thought about that for many years, until this morning sadly.
2.) My point was simply that younger people don't drink as much these days and there's a lot of talk about it actually:
Young Adults in U.S. Drinking Less Than in Prior Decades
Adults aged 18 to 34 are less likely to say they drink alcohol than were young adults in prior decades, while drinking is up among those 55 and older.
Understanding Why Gen Z Drinks Less
The college crowd isn’t drinking alcohol like it once did — and the reasons why may surprise you.
Why Gen Zers are growing up sober curious
A complex combination of outside pressures and information overload is driving young people to snub alcohol, far more than generations before them.
I don't think for this generation of kids drinking in general is glorified as much. That's more of 80s/90s/2000s thing.
Thank you for posting this. That is what I thought.
Kobe. He wasn't in the prime of his career, but he absolutely was in the prime of his life, and it was cut short due to an accident. It has to be mentioned in any discussion of sports superstars losing their life tragically young.
